【题目】A. Choose the best answer.
Hi there!
Can you help me? I’m doing a project at school. The title?‘Will life be better in 2100?’What do you think? Thanks you for your ideas!
Josh
a. Hi Josh! I think life will be great. People will live in‘smart houses’. A central computer will control the temperature, the lights, everything! These houses will be ecological and use solar energy and recycled water. A‘smart’mirror in the bathroom（that's right, it’s a mirror with a computer!）will check your health. And guess what? Robots will cook and do the housework.
Maya
b. Pollution is a big problem today, but will be a bigger problem in 100 years. So people won’t use cars with petrol. They will drive in electric cars on underground roads. And there will be electric buses with computers for drivers! The best thing? People will be able to travel in time. Now that will be exciting!
Rosie
c. Hi Josh. Life will be better in 2100-in space! People will live on the Moon and Mars in special cities. They will grow food and send it to the Earth in a huge space craft. Space stations will orbit the Earth and control the climate. There will also be holidays in space! How cool is that?
Brandon
d. Will life be different in 100 years? Yes, it will. Will life be better? No, it won’t! Climate change will cause floods and droughts. Rich people will live for a long time, maybe 200 years! But life won’t be easy for most people. They won’t have food and water.
Faith
e. Well, Josh, the good news is… there won’t be any schools! Students will have lessons at home on their computers. They’ll be in contact with other students all over the world in a‘virtual’classroom. The bad news is…teachers will still give us homework in the future!

【1】细节理解题。根据The title?‘Will life be better in 2100?’What do you think? Thanks you for your ideas可知，主要讲述未来的生活，故选C。
【2】词义猜测题。根据These houses will be ecological and use solar energy and recycled water可知，表示“使用太阳能和可循环的水”，所以是环保的，故选B。

About the year 1900, Charlie Chaplin (卓别林) was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of London theaters. He looked neither tall nor short. He was hoping to get work in show business. Luckily, he soon got a chance to act and it was also his first performance on the stage.
But twenty years later, this same Chaplin became the greatest, best-known comedian (喜剧演员) in the world. Any regular visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Charlie Chaplin’s films. People everywhere have laughed at them until tears have run down their faces. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they mostly have no sound. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. It is based on little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world.
Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day in 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
